In the bigger picture it is too late for regulations to recover a shift in wealth of $40 trillion .
Want to start there ?
No, I want you to stop dodging and support your statement, or concede that you can't.
That's not dodging.
It's my answer to your trick question that can't be answered.

Under Reagan the antitrust laws and tax codes were rigged to favor the rich, and since then it's only gotten worse. And by the time Bush was elected in 2000, the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street was completely unlocked. What few remaining regulations since Clinton repealed Glass Steagall basically amount to the foxes guarding all the hen houses.

The Federal Reserve's boy Tim Geithner was appointed the Treasury Secretary under Bush and Obama. If that doesn't give you some clue about who is running the show, nothing will.



By rich....you mean the people who go out and work for living....Then pay Tax....To fund your Leftist Utopia of welfare recipients?.... :oyvey

How many billionaires were there in the USA in 1985 ? About 0.

Now there are 540 with a net worth of $2.4 trillion... (that we know of )

And when the capital gains and estate taxes are repealed, all that money will stay in their families, when a few hundred billion would have been more than enough to go around.

Who will make the computers, drive the trucks, grow the food and fix the bridges when it all falls down ? ( empires always do )

What is it with you and capitalism?....

It's a necessity for a healthy economy....

Why do you think the USSR failed....Socialism has been tried....and has failed....

China's economy is based on capitalism although it's still referred to as a communist/socialist country politically....

Socialism is not the cure for unregulated capitalism. Democracy is.

True Democracy is nothing more than a dream....

A type of Fairy tale....No where in the world is there a true democracy....

It's just a feel good tag....

Combine democracy with a human being and you get what we've got....

All politicians promise democracy....but never deliver it....

My years have told me that the minute a politician starts talking about a true democracy.....It's time to forget em....Their full of BS....

I don't want the government to serve me, I want them to leave me alone. A man looking for a government servant will soon be a government slave.

Government has not given me back anything they haven't taken from me (or someone else) first. Before taking their cut of course.
